It's a pretty big project IMO to swap f/i. You should fully read each of these links and make sure you understand and absorb everything

I have read these and I got some books.. Street turbocharging Design, Fabrication, installation, and tuning of High-performance Turbocharger Systems by Mark Warner

I also bought Turbocharging Performance handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) by Jeff Hartman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of people piece together supercharger kits and turbo charger kits..
You can get kits from ZZPerformance, Garrett (if you can find)
